Abstract
Methods and systems configured to facilitate smart pre-fetching for sequentially accessing tree structures such as balanced trees (b-trees) are described herein. According to various described embodiments, a pre-fetch condition can be determined to have been met for a first cache associated with a first level of a tree such as a b-tree. A link to a bock of data to be read into the cache can be read into the cache by accessing a second level of the tree. The data elements associated with the retrieved link can subsequently read into the cache.
